Joan Osborne
In a career that spans over fifteen years, Joan has proven to be an artistically restless yet consistently enthralling performer. She has sold over seven million albums and garnered six Grammy nominations.
In 2002, she cemented her reputation as a top tier soul singer with an incredible turn in the acclaimed documentary film ‘Standing in the Shadows of Motown,’ followed by a tour with legendary Motown backing band The Funk Brothers.
In 2003, Osborne toured with the Dixie Chicks and then surprised and wowed audiences touring throughout America for two years as the lead singer for The Dead. In 2007, she graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.
Osborne loves to sing and perform in many different genres and continues this trend at Vancouver Island MusicFest by agreeing to perform for us with the fantastic Holmes Brothers backing her.
